Its three biggest or National series would be the Creature Energy NASCAR Cup Series, the Xfinity Series, and the Gander Outdoors Pickup truck Series.

NASCAR has presented races at the Suzuka and Motegi circuits in Japan, and the Calder Park Thunderdome in Australia. NASCAR also ventures into eSports via the PEAK Antifreeze NASCAR iRacing Series and a sanctioned ladder system on that title.

The privately possessed company was founded by Bill France Sr. in 1948, and his grandson Brian France has been CEO since 2003. The particular company's headquarters is in Daytona Beach, Florida. Internationally, its races are broadcast on tv in over 150 countries.

The Beast Energy NASCAR Cup Collection (MENCS) is the sport's highest level of professional competition. It is as a result the most famous and most profitable NASCAR series.

Since 2001, the Cup Series season has contained 36 competitions over 10 months. Writers and fans often use "Cup" to refer to the MENCS and the ambiguous use of "NASCAR" as a synonym for the series frequently occurs.

The 2018 MENCS Champion is Joey Logano. The report for most championships is 7, held by 3 drivers: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Jimmie Manley. Johnson has the report for most consecutive with 5 consecutive Cup Series drivers' championships from 2006 to 2010. Previously, the most consecutive championships had been three in a line by Cale Yarborough in the late 1970s, the only other time when a driver has won three or more NASCAR Cup Series championships in a row.

The Glass Series had its first title sponsor in 1972. R. J. Reynolds Cigarette Company, which had been banned from tv set advertising, found a popular and demographically suitable consumer base in NASCAR fans and involved NASCAR as a promotional outlet.

Because of that sponsorship, the Grand National Collection became referred to as Winston Glass Series starting in 1971, with a new points system and some significant cash benefits to compete for championship points. Within 1972, the season was shortened from 48 competitions (including two on grime tracks) to 31.

1972 is often acknowledged as the beginning of NASCAR's "modern era". The next competitive level, called Past due Model Sportsman, gained the "Grand National" title exceeded down from the very best division and soon found a sponsor in Busch Beverage.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. (bottom), and team in victory lane in 2004In 2004, Nextel Communications took over sponsorship of the premier series from R. J. Reynolds, who had sponsored it as the Winston Cup from 1972 until 2003, and formally renamed it the Nextel Cup Series. A new championship points system, the "Chase for the Nextel Cup, " (renamed "Chase for the Sprint Cup" in 2008) was also developed, which reset the point standings with 10 races to go, making only drivers in the top ten or within 400 points of the leader eligible to earn the championship.

In 2007, NASCAR announced it was expanding "The Chase" from ten to twelve drivers, eliminating the 400-point cut-off, and giving a ten-point bonus to the top twelve drivers for every single of the races they have won out of the first twenty six. Wins throughout the season would also be granted five more points within previous seasons. In 08, the premier series title name became the Run Cup Series, as part of the merger between Nextel and Sprint.

Within 2011, NASCAR announced several of major rules changes, the most substantial being abandoning the points system from the 1947 pub napkin. The winner of the race now receives 43 points, with one-point decrements for every single subsequent position (42 for second, 41 for third, and so on).

The winner also receives 3 bonus points, and single bonus points are awarded to all motorists who lead a lap, plus the driver who leads the most laps. Another important change requires the qualifying process for the Chase. The amount of being approved drivers will remain at 12, but only the top ten will qualify exclusively on regular-season points.

The remaining two Chase motorists will be the two drivers in the next 10 of the point standings (11th through 20th) with the most race wins in the regular season.

In 2014, NASCAR announced another revamp to the Chase format, growing the Chase pool to 16 drivers, and removing four drivers after every three races, leaving four drivers to compete for the championship at the season finale at Homestead. In addition, wins were given an increased emphasis, with the 16 drivers with the most wins (15 if the points head is winless; points leader will receive an computerized berth) gaining a spot in the chase. If there are less than 16 winners, the remaining areas will be filled centered on the conventional points system.

Monster Energy became the title sponsor in 2017, which changed the series' name to Beast Energy NASCAR Cup Collection. With Monster Energy's title sponsorship, NASCAR also abandoned "The Chase" name and now refers to the last 10 races simply as "the playoffs" similar to most other sports.
